Bug Description
As discussed on the sounder list, it is very confusing when trying to write CDs
to have them automatically mounted. nautilus-cd-burner displays an error, and
the user must figure out how to unmount the disc before they can continue
(Bug#7739). Also, the disc is automatically mounted in the middle of the writing
process, which is even more confusing.
Some ideas:
- nautilus-cd-burner could try to unmount the disc using pumount before giving up
- nautilus-cd-burner could inhibit the automatic mounting mechanism while it is
running

Martin: should pmount have a per device lock file? ie. it won't mount if the
device lock file exists.
